What’s The Secret to Adam Levine’s Confidence?

As the lead singer of the Grammy Award-winning band Maroon 5, Adam Levine has made a name for himself with his distinctive singing voice. Maroon 5’s releases have gone gold and platinum, setting records for most #1 singles. He starred in the indie film Begin Again, where the dreamy track Lost Stars was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards. And he’s one of the judges on the Emmy Award-winning show, The Voice.

Most women swoon like lovesick teens when they see the “Sexiest Man Alive” of 2013, with his hot looks and remarkable talent. No wonder that men also aspire for the same kind of charisma and confidence that he exudes.

Adam In His Teenage Years

What most people don’t know is that like many of us, Adam Levine struggled to regain confidence during his teenage years. His severe acne breakouts during that time took away much of his confidence and forced him to stay away from the crowd.

“I was just ashamed of my acne,” Adam shared. “I had horrible breakouts. I would hide from cameras, hide in my room. Acne just shows up and causes trouble and it messes with my confidence.”

Adam’s Busy Schedule

And even today, with his busy schedule, the stress can take a toll on his skin. “I am a very active person and it kind of lead to zits, which is unfortunate but a reality for me,” he chuckled.

“My life for now is unbelievably busy and I feel fortunate and blessed every day,” Adam said. He also shared that unlike most people’s belief about celebrities having to look so good on screen or otherwise, they also suffer from the same skin problems that make them lose their self-confidence and hide away from many of the good things in life. “I always want to make sure that people understand that even though we are celebrities or successful, we are no different than anybody else.”

Adam and Proactiv

Fortunately for Adam, America’s #1 acne treatment system, Proactiv Solution, solved his acne problems. Proactiv’s 3-Step System is dermatologist-developed and is designed to help clear existing acne and prevent future outbreaks, while gently taking care of the skin. “It is so great that there is something out there now, that is legitimate,” Adam added.

Five minutes is all it takes to complete this system, which is great for busy people like Adam Levine, the new celebrity endorser of Proactiv Philippines.

Step 1, the Renewing Cleanser, contains Benzoyl Peroxide to help kill acne-causing bacteria. The ultra-fine, micro-crystal BPO penetrates pores fast while being gentle on the skin, and tiny exfoliating beads help to unclog the pores of impurities such as excess sebum, keratin and dead skin cells.

Now with clear skin, Adam Levine no longer feels the need to hide. “It is game changer; it treats acne and treats your skin right,” he said. And like a lot of guys, Adam doesn’t like a lot of male acne products. “But with this, its three easy steps and you’re doing all you need to do.”
